But me not knowing who my opponent was going to be, all those nerves were gone, and I was able to soak up all that energy.”
Reflecting on facing Hendry, Orton shared, “When I first heard the music, and I first saw who it was, I wasn’t quite sure how it was going to feel about it, but then I heard the people’s reaction to this guy, and they love him. They love him.”

I don’t know what he calls it, but I’ll tell you what, I might have to steal that for next week. Maybe, we’ll see when we get there. You’re going to have to wait. If I do it again, it will be on SmackDown, or maybe Monday Night Raw.”

It’s clear that Orton’s match against Joe Hendry at WrestleMania 41 was not only a physical competition but also a memorable experience filled with surprises and mutual admiration among peers.
